Bedford Goes Red: Red Ribbon Week is October 23-31

Red Ribbon Week is a national drug prevention initiative held every October 23 – 31. “BEDFORD GOES RED” for Red Ribbon is a local, community effort run in conjunction with National Red Ribbon Week. BeBOLD’s “BEDFORD GOES RED“ for Red Ribbon Week is an entire week of businesses and homes displaying red ribbons and/or red lights to support and encourage people to stay drug free.

Where to get ribbons and bows:
Cohen Closing and Title (334 NH-101 in Bedford) as well as at Primary Bank (207 NH-101 in Bedford). If you are a local business, please email BeBOLD President Tracey Bell at president@beboldbedford.org.

Where to get red light bulbs:
Bedford ACE Hardware has donated red bulbs. They are available at their location at 209 NH-101 in Bedford.

What you can do:
Display your red lights and/or ribbons, take a video or photo of you and/or your business, and send it to president@beboldbedford.org. We will post it on our social media! Support BeBOLD and get your business’ name out in the community!
